Rufus Thomas - Walkin' the Dog [Sunday Night Live - 1989]

[Hi-Fi Mono] The legendary singer & songwriter appears on this unique late night USTV program, backed by the house band. This is the first of two songs performed on this occasion.
Musicians include: Omar Hakim [drums]; Tom Barney [bass]; Philippe Saisse [keyboards]; David Sanborn [saxophone]; Hiram Bullock [guitar]; and Don Alias [percussion]. Steve Turre also appears on trombone, and two unidentified horn players also help fill out the sound.

Michael McLoughlin Great performance by a great performer. I learned this song from one of the first 3 Stone's albums, back when they were doing covers. It's great to see him do it. I lived with a woman who used wake up early & blast "Push & Pull" on many mornings, good song to wake up to.

Just found Rufus' Staxx Funk Sessions album, Funkiest Man Alive. I primarily knew him for Funky Chicken. Didnt know many of his ither songs but this album puts him right behind JB. Check it out.
